Glitter is for crafts, not clothing. I tried this twinset on and immediately noticed glitter in my hair, on my skin and on the floor of the dressing room. Three days and three showers later, I was still trying to remove glitter.

This is a special occasion set. However, because it is two separate pieces, each can be worn independently. Pairing either piece with a solid black piece would provide you with more selections for that special event. Love the fact that this doesn't have the "glitter" that sheds. The embellishment is embroidery and other attached pieces. 3/4 sleeves solves the "too long in the sleeve" problem. The single hook and eye closure on the jacket is just perfect; can be worn with it closed or open. Love Alex Evenings products, and this is the best one yet!
